Chapter 85: A Terrifying Night in the Dilapidated Temple
The eerie laughter echoed outside the dilapidated temple, sending chills down Liu Yu's spine.
Liu Yu said in a trembling voice, "What...what is that sound?"
The monk also looked fearful: "Could it be a monster?"
Xu Xian clung tightly to Bai Suzhen, too frightened to utter a sound.
Xiaoqing, being bolder, stood up and said, "I'll go out and take a look."
Liu Yu quickly grabbed her: "Don't go, it's dangerous!"
But Xiaoqing still strode out.
After a while, there was no more noise outside. Liu Yu called out worriedly, "Xiao Qing, Xiao Qing, how are you?"
No one responded.
Liu Yu swallowed hard: "What should we do?"
Bai Suzhen said, "I'll go take a look."
Liu Yu and Xu Xian waited nervously in the temple.
A short while later, Bai Suzhen returned, followed by a grinning Xiaoqing.
Liu Yu asked anxiously, "What exactly happened?"
Xiaoqing laughed and said, "It's a little fox, trying to scare us by mimicking human laughter."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
After sitting down again, the monk said, "This humble monk will prepare some food for you all."
He took out a few steamed buns from his bundle and handed them to everyone.
Liu Yu took a bite of the steamed bun, frowned, and said, "This steamed bun is so hard it could knock your teeth out."
The monk said embarrassedly, "When you're traveling, you can only make do with what you have."
While we were eating, we suddenly heard a "creak" sound, as if someone was pushing the door open.
Everyone became vigilant.
A figure slowly walked in; it turned out to be an old man in tattered clothes.
The old man pleaded pitifully, "Kind people, could you give me some food? I haven't eaten for days."
Liu Yu handed her steamed bun to the old man: "Here, eat up."
The old man took the steamed bun and began to wolf it down.
After finishing the steamed bun, the old man said, "Thank you. Let me tell you a joke."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
The old man cleared his throat: "One day, Xu Xian met a tortoise on the road. The tortoise said to Xu Xian, 'Xu Xian, Xu Xian, guess how old I am?' Xu Xian said, 'I don't know.' The tortoise said, 'Guess!' Xu Xian said, 'Then I guess you're a thousand years old.' The tortoise angrily said, 'You're only a thousand years old, I'm ten thousand years old!'"
Liu Yu and the others burst into laughter after hearing this.
Just then, another strange sound came, like someone crying.
Liu Yu said fearfully, "Who...who is this?"
They searched around and found a little mouse crying in a corner.
The little mouse said, "My tail is caught in the sand, it hurts so much!"
Xu Xian carefully helped the little mouse get its tail out.
The little mouse said gratefully, "Thank you, let me dance for you."
As it spoke, the little mouse jumped up on the ground, its comical appearance making everyone laugh so hard they almost fell over.
Before the laughter subsided, a strong wind suddenly blew up outside, making the windows rattle loudly.
Liu Yu said nervously, "This wind came so suddenly."
The monk said, "I'm afraid something bad is coming."
No sooner had the words left his mouth than a huge dark shadow appeared in the doorway.
Liu Yu was so frightened that she hid under the table: "It's over, it's over, this time it really is a monster."
Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing stood up, ready to fight.
The dark figure walked in; it turned out to be a large black bear.
The big black bear said in a deep voice, "I smell food. Give me some to eat."
Liu Yu peeked out from under the table: "Brother Xiong, we don't have much food left either."
The big black bear glared at him: "You won't give it to me? Then I'll take it myself."
As he spoke, he lunged at Liu Yu.
Bai Suzhen used her magic to freeze the giant black bear in place.
Unable to move, the big black bear began to beg for mercy: "Please spare my life, I will never dare to do it again."
After discussing it, everyone decided to release the big black bear.
The big black bear was so grateful that it ran away.
After all that, everyone was exhausted.
Liu Yu said, "This night was so thrilling, I was almost scared to death."
Xu Xian said, "Fortunately, it was a close call."
They slept in the dilapidated temple for the night, and continued their journey early the next morning...
